I am working within a multiple XML input environment. I have an XML input
say $doc1 within which there are several nodesets which are very similar
(but different) I am trying to establish the existence of a particular
nodeset $doc1//CommonSoFar/$thisone where $thisone is a variable
containing the name of the element that I am testing for.
<xsl:if test="$doc1//CommonSoFar/$thisone"/> I get a compile error with an
objection to the second $ . How else could I code this ?
I realise I am missing the point somewhere here but I cannot get my head
round it.
Thanks.
